If there’s anything we’ve learned about Rihanna over the years, it’s that nobody throws it back like she does. The musical artist, actress, and trailblazer for inclusive beauty is no stranger to serving memorable looks including but not limited to the sheer Adam Selman Swarovski dress Rihanna wore to accept her CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year award in 2014 and several Met Gala hits like the 2015 Guo Pei omelette yellow gown and her glittering, jewel-encrusted John Galliano moment as a Met Gala co-host in 2018. Rihanna has never been one to shy away from playing with over-the-top looks, and like any fashion girl worth her salt, she frequently taps into a versatile and seemingly never-ending vault of hard-to-find vintage pieces.
Rihanna was recently photographed wearing vintage low-rise Spring/Summer 1999 Gucci jeans in a cropped length, feathered to perfection, and paired with a matching oversized fur hat. The singer has graced the streets with everything from vintage Moschino to vintage Chanel to vintage Dior so it’s only natural that there are accounts like @rihannadailystyle that give fashion-hungry fans the inside scoop on how to recreate her looks. These particularly rare jeans are valued at over $15,000 and are an ode to Gucci helmed by Tom Ford in the 1990s.
Tom Ford spent time with the brand in the 90’s quickly rising through the Gucci ranks and the result of his tenure as creative director was an unpredictable amalgamation of cutouts, sensual fabrics, and controversial aesthetic choices. As Ford’s personal muse, our own Carine offered instrumental inspiration and consulting for the 90’s era of the Gucci brand. Although Ford departed from Gucci in 2004 after the Pinault Printemps Redoute (now Kering) buyout, the pair created an irreverent, sexy image for the brand that still resonates with us today — shown clearly by Rihanna paying homage to the distinctive era through an archival peak into her extensive wardrobe.
